There was very little production at the show. Especially for $60.The sound was very low for the whole gig. Fatboy slim wasJust ok. And the show ended pretty eairly.

Greek Theatre - gorgeous venue, but a pain in the ass to get in (took over 45 min) and each bathroom trip took over 30 min which was very frustrating. The sound was bad on the left side of the stage - maybe the speaker wasn't on? And it wasn't loud and filling enough.

Line-up was great for the most part, although Fat Boy Slim didn't make sense at all. He's not like the other Mad Decent artists and putting him in between Dillon and Diplo didn't make sense and didn't flow well at all. He should have been before Flosstradamus.

The ladies twerking on stage - where on earth did they come from? Most were terrible dancers. Maybe 1/20 were good. (Yellow Claw's show had much better twerkers). Would've been nice to have GOOD lady and male twerkers.

This event has grown so much since its humble beginnings as an actual block party, so it makes a lot of sense why the changes in venues, acts, and features have happened so drastically. I feel like they have gotten away from the whole "block party" vibe and that has hurt the integrity of the event. That is Diplo and his camp's fault though, not anyone else's. The security issues at this venue were horrendous. The worst I have ever seen at this venue or any other concert venue. Take notes from The Mann Music Center.

It kind of sucked. There were TOO many searches going on. The like to get in was backed up for an hour and a half. It stretched 3 city blocks. It was unreal. The security checkpoint was intense. Cops with dogs, event staff searching everything short of a full cavity search. It really ruined the mood.The even is just getting too big to be fun anymore. It was double the size of last years show. There was nowhere to sit and rest. Not nearly enough porto potties. I felt violated.

I have seen some of these performers in the past, so I knew what to expect. What I did not expect is how terrible the venue was for this event. It shouldn't have been at this seated place, the acoustics were alright and it wasn't very "block party" friendly. I also was surprised that Flosstradamus' set wasn't as awesome as I have heard online - gotta give them another chance.

The show itself was great, the DJs played great music and it was really high energy and fun. The crowd was awesome and it was overall a fun show.

The reason I give it two stars is because the venue was terrible for this type of event. The acoustics were not ideal for EDM, it made the music sound unclear, and even muffled the base. However with great DJs it was easy to look past this and still enjoy the music.

The worst part of the venue was actually getting into the event. We stood in line for 2 hours to get through security, we arrived at 4:00pm, the show started at 2:00 and ended at 9:00. They would scan every single ID, but only had 2 ID scanners available, for a sold out show. There is no problem with scanning IDs, but there has to be more scanners for such a large event. People were cutting the lines and security was doing nothing to enforce an orderly line. Once you passed through the ID scanning section you had a very disorganized security staff searching through bags and shoes, there weren't even any tables available to put your things down for more orderly and speedy searching. I completely understand the full search and have no objection to this, however the extreme disorganization and inept security staff was the cause of such a long and frustrating wait.

Unless Mad Decent will be held at a better and more well-equipped venue next year I will not be attending again, nor would I recommend the show to anyone.

Half of the venue was empty due to poor preparation by the event staff. It was understaffed. Thousands of people waited in line for over an hour and others never even got it. The headliner, Diplo, even called out the venue the next day on being the worst on the tour. I paid a lot of money to see several artists and because the staff wasn't prepared, I saw less than half of the show. Awful.

Absolutely the worst festival experience of my life. I understand security and safety is a concern but this event at BlueHills Bank Pavilion was poorly executed. I arrived at 3pm only to wait in line until 5:30 and left in frustration as the line was STILL not moving. This event was completely unregulated as far as seating goes as people that paid for premium seats were sitting in the back (from a friend that actually got in) the sound system was nothing to write home about. Ended up getting dinner and drinks at Jerry Remys which was still a better time than MDBP. Would of loved to see my favorite DJS and producers but this is the incorrect venue and security process for this type of event. The event info should of warned that you'll wait in extremely long time consuming lines and you'll miss half the performances.

Sincerely,Disappointed

This was the third time I saw Flosstradamus in a year time frame. Floss always puts on a great show, and has yet to disappoint. Diplo's set was pretty awesome as well. DJ Snake kicked it back with old school rhymes which I appreciated. I thought overall, it was a pretty great show with the exception of the venue. The Pavilion isn't ideal for EDM, but I did like that it was outside on the waterfront which allowed a nice breeze.

The music was great but operations/ logistics of the venue was not. We waited on a line for over an hour. When getting beers there wasn't a line, it was just a blob of people trying to beg to be the next person to get beers. There was an error on the section seatings.
